Drunk Driving Accidents in Rhode Island

Hit by a Drunk Driver in Rhode Island

The police will be able to determine if the other party has been drinking or is under the influence of any substances. If you suspect the other party of driving while intoxicated, and the police have not arrived yet, try to follow the standard procedure after an accident and get their name, address and vehicle and insurance information. If they attempt to leave the scene of the accident, make sure to get their license plate number at least and give it to the police.

Ultimately, if the driver leaves the scene and police cannot catch them, you will need to file your claim for damages under your uninsured or under-insured motorist policy coverage.

Major Rhode Island Roadways:

Interstate 95: I-95: I-95 is the main north-south Interstate Highway on America’s east coast. In Rhode Island, I-95 travels from the Connecticut border near Westerly through Warwick and Providence and then on to the Massachusetts border in Pawtucket. Routes I-195 and I-295 (discussed below) are spurs of I-95.

Interstate 195: I-195: Travelling a combined 40.1 miles in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, I-195 leaves its junction with I-95 in Providence then heads east to a junction with I-495 and Route 25 on Massachusetts’ Cape Cod. The section of I-195 in downtown Providence is being replaced. The new route will lie just south of the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier.

Interstate 295: I-295: At a length of just 26.58 miles in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, I-295 is short but vital. From its southern terminus in Warwick, it forms an essential western beltway around Providence before ending to the north in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Plans are underway to supplement I-295 with an eastern beltway around Providence.
